About this episode

Jac and Ral discuss the true essence of leadership and the importance of unlocking the potential of others.

Everyone has an opinion on what makes a great leader and Jac and Ral say most of them are wrong. In this episode they cut through to land on one definition: leadership is unlocking the potential of others. Everything else is just the work. They get stuck into what actually costs a leader who doesn’t do the “leading work”, why trust is now the real competitive advantage (not AI), the $7 return on every $1 spent developing leaders, and why hiring good people means getting out of their way. And Ral gives us advice we all need to remember at least once as a leader… step up, or step of! ----Your support helps keep this show going — join us on Patreon.https://tinyurl.com/jacandralpatreonNew Episode Every Monday Follow the showhttps://www.instagram.com/keepingitrealwithjacandral/https://open.spotify.com/show/5yIs5ncJGvJyXhI55Js0if?si=aCNOdB68QnOGnT0vCTPcPgFollow Jac https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacphillips/https://www.instagram.com/jac.phillips.coaching/Follow Ralhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/gabrielledolan/https://www.instagram.com/gabrielledolan.1/Produced by Keehlan Ferrari-Brown
